Alright, let's make it about humans: Person A prefers apple over oranges and potatoes over tomatoes. Person B prefers also potatoes over tomatoes but does not care about apple or oranges. Original poster now argues that it is okay for

Thanks for understanding my point. Hitler's dog loved him because the dog cared about food and getting petted. The bad elements were not the main priority of the dog. Just caring about one thing and not caring about the other does not

I think the general problem behind issues like these are that the public has repeatedly been over and over deceived by autoritative voices - might it be experts, academics or government positions. As a consequence, when people have the gut

Actually a good point. If I had the money I would buy up antiques as long as they are compatible with modern lifestyle/living space dimensions.

Grew up on the old continent. Except for the family room/front porch, this is almost the exact layout of my parents' house. Any they built it in the 80s. Even if I would build my own today... piano room would be there. Maybe mixin

I think the main advantage of small restaurants is the labor advantage. Owner, family, friends are willing to work at ridiculously low (no) wages until there is a decent profit.

Whew, luckily it is about octopi. Lobsters would make this a lot more controversial.

Twitter truly feels like a dangerous mixup of mostly journalist, social activists and social media gurus, who all reaffirm their existance on the platform.

Sounds like it was a social group were people enjoyed having some peers chatting with. Not a research group on cutting edge technology issues. Contentwise the real world can rarely compete with the internet...

It also sounds like the perfect antidode to social isolation, eg having to meet with people who live nearby, nobody on a hard schedule, common activities and practices, etc.

Do you have some sorces to back that up? It reads like you looked in to this a lot.

Such an elegant response. Thanks you for that!
